Instructions: how to connect your Instagram account to Claude

Connect above does this for you. If Claude ever opens the dialog empty, here's exactly what goes where:

Writers can agree on copy and still fight over what to shoot. reel-builder is the glue between draft and production.

Where the copy fight actually starts

/reel-builder [teardown or topic + structure to follow]

Prompt

/reel-builder [teardown or topic + structure to follow]

I pasted the winning teardown beat map and asked for an execution plan.

The returned output

A shot-by-shot table with scene action, text copy, and timing per beat. That did the work of three prep spreadsheets in one pass.

The output stayed useful because it was still editable: if a shot was unavailable, only that row changed.

No more "wait, did we already change that?"

I ran this before editing decisions and reviewed the same table on mobile during shoot prep. That reduced the “we changed this, forgot that” problem and made the process repeatable.

Use it after reel-scripter when you want a production artifact, and before caption-and-hashtags when you need caption rhythm.
